Ex 42-92796 this C-47A was delivered on 1 March 1944, it served in Australia until it was transferred to the Koninklijke Nederlandsch-Indische Luchtvaart Maatschappij (Royal Dutch East Indies Airline) as PK-REQ and on to the Indonesian air force (TNI-AU) as T-463. Its construction number plate was checked here at Purbalingga, which is a small Indonesian air force airfield, more recently also opened to civil aviation. This Dakota can be found near the barracks and sportfield on the north side of this airfield in Mid-Java.
